Indiana Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment 2019 VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION Empowering People. Changing Lives. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment June 2019 The Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), requires Vocational Rehabilitation state agencies to conduct a comprehensive statewide needs assessment every three years. The needs assessment includes review of data on the general populations in Indiana as well as data on individuals being served in the Indiana VR program. A survey is also conducted to gather input from individuals with disabilities and their families, stakeholders, employers, VR staff and others regarding the needs of individuals with disabilities in Indiana, particularly as they pertain to employment and transition services. Feedback is also obtained on an ongoing basis through the Commission on Rehabilitation Services, regular VR staff meetings, and a variety of workgroups with stakeholders. The comprehensive statewide needs assessment establishes VR program priorities for the next three years, fiscal years 2020-2022. Data Collection While Indiana’s formal comprehensive statewide needs assessment is conducted every three years, data is gathered continuously. The triennial comprehensive statewide needs assessment is a joint effort of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and the Commission on Rehabilitative Services. The Commission provides ongoing input, especially in the acquisition of satisfaction data. For this needs assessment, the Commission provided input into the development and content of the survey used for the assessment and feedback on the final report. Commission members had an opportunity to review and offer comments prior to the release of the comprehensive statewide needs assessment report. Indiana’s 2020 comprehensive statewide needs assessment reflects a synthesis of quantitative and qualitative data addressing the state’s overall vocational rehabilitation needs. 1 The data collection techniques used in the development of this report included (a) a review of demographic data for Indiana, (b) a review of data on individuals receiving VR services, (c) feedback from the Commission on Rehabilitation Services, and (d) input from VR applicants and participants, individuals with disabilities and their families, service providers, employers, educators, VR staff, Workforce Development staff, WIOA partners, and advocates. Demographic/Economic Data Prevalence According to the National Center on Leadership for the Employment and Economic Advancement of People with Disabilities, known as the LEAD Center, in 2017 Indiana’s population was 6,666,818 (LEAD, n.d.). The Center reports 477,660 are people with disabilities between the ages of 18-64 (7%). This a decrease of 1.71% from 2016. In Indiana, among the civilian noninstitutionalized population from 2012-2016, 14% reported a disability. “The likelihood of having a disability varied by age—from 5% of people under 18 years old, to 12% of people 18 to 64 years.” (The American Community Survey, 2012-2016 five- year estimates can be found at the U.S. U.S. Census website.) Employment Indiana’s Department of Workforce Development (DWD) (2019) reported that the state’s unemployment rate was 3.6% in December 2018 and has remained below the national rate of 3.9% for more than five years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides the monthly unemployment rate, which is an indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people who have been seeking employment within the prior four weeks as the percentage of individuals engaged in the labor force. Indiana's total labor force is 3.40 million, and “the state’s 65.1% labor force participation rate remains above the national rate of 63.1%” (para. 1-2). LEAD data for Indiana for 2017 (n.d.) indicates that: • 184,343 people with disabilities (all disabilities), ages 18-64, were employed in 2017 • percentage of working-age people (all disabilities) who were employed was 38.59% • percentage of working-age people without disabilities who were employed was 78.65% The Department of Labor (DOL) January 2019 disability employment statistics reports the following for individuals ages 16 and over: Labor Force Participation • People with disabilities: 20.5% 2 • People without disabilities: 68.3% Unemployment Rate • People with disabilities: 9.0% • People without disabilities: 4.2% (For current labor force and unemployment statistics click here.) Note: “Labor Force participation” refers to the percentage of the population who are working or looking for work, while “unemployment rate” is the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labor force. January 2019 data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows the following labor force participation and unemployment rate for youth: Labor Force Participation for Youth • Age 16-19 with Disability: 22.3% • Age 16-19 with No Disability: 33.3% • Age 20-24 with Disability: 47.7% • Age 20-24 with No Disability: 71.5% Unemployment Rate for Youth • Age 16-19 with Disability: 33.2% • Age 16-19 with No Disability: 12.1% • Age 20-24 with Disability: 12.1% • Age 20-24 with No Disability: 8.5% (Recent statistics can be found at Department of Labor.) The Wagner-Peyser National Quarterly report of FY 2018 (DOL, n.d.) showed that 190,781 individuals with disabilities received services from Wagner-Peyser, providing 87,721 individuals with basic career services; 95,486 with individualized career services; and 7,574 with training services. Services to individuals with disabilities is 4% of the total served. Among the six types of disabilities identified in the American Community Survey (Erickson, Lee, & von Schrader, 2019), the highest employment rate was for people with a "Hearing Disability," 52.5%. The lowest employment rate was for people with a "Self-Care Disability," 17.5%. (Note: Self-care Disability is based on the question, asked of persons ages 5 or older: 17c. Does this person have difficulty dressing or bathing?) 3 Employment Demand in Indiana Indiana uses short-term and long-term job projection data to obtain information about occupations that will be in demand from 2014 to 2024. The top 10 occupations expected to be in demand are: accountants, auditors, critical and acute care nurses, allergists, construction managers, dental hygienists, dermatologists, electricians, supervisors of construction trades, operations managers and management analysts. (See Indiana Career Ready). According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (Jan. 23, 2019), the biggest job gains in 2018 were in: • Construction, +13,900 jobs • Trade, Transportation & Utilities, +10,900 jobs • Professional & Business Services, +8,800 jobs • Private Education & Health Services, +6,300 jobs • Financial Activities, +4,500 jobs • Manufacturing, +3,100 jobs Transportation The Arc (n.d.) describes transportation issues as follows: “Despite these two landmark federal laws [Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act], transportation services are often not accessible to individuals with disabilities as policies are not implemented and adequate funding is not provided” (para. 2). The American Public Transportation Association (December 7, 2017) reports that 45% of Americans have no access to public transportation. The Indiana Department of Transportation (June 2018) provides the following statistics concerning the status of transportation in Indiana as of 2017. • Indiana maintains a public transit network of 64 urban and rural systems that receive formula funding, a number which remained the same from 2016 to 2017. Formula funding provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states to support public transportation in urban and rural areas. o Urban systems – 21 receive 5307 formula funding o Rural systems – 43 receive 5311 formula funding o 83 of 92 counties in Indiana have public transit service available • Public Transit Fleet for 2017 o Total public transit fleet for Indiana – 1,995 vehicles o Urban vehicles – 1,173, with 98.81% wheelchair accessible 4 o Rural vehicles – 822, with 86% wheelchair accessible o Total vehicles – 1,995 with 93.53% wheelchair accessible • Specialized Transportation Program Vehicles for 2017 o Total number of active vehicles – 729 o Number of vehicles funded in 2017 – 79 o Specialized Transportation vehicle fleet wheelchair accessible – 80% INDOT (June 2018) also reported the following in relation to how individuals transport to work: • Public transportation – 1% used public transportation to get to work in Indiana compared to national average of 5% • Drive Alone to Work – 83.6% of workers aged 16 years and over, national average 77% • Car Pooled to Work – 9% of workers aged 16 years and over, national average 9.5% • Zero Car Households – 174,764 (7%), of the total 2.5 million households INDOT has “rural demand” response systems that are transit systems in urban areas with populations less than 50,000 and rural countywide and multi-county systems with varying population sizes (INDOT, June 2018). These systems operate 50% or more of their total vehicle miles in demand response – flexible routing and scheduling according to passenger needs. The 42 systems in the “rural demand” serve more than 2.7 million people (INDOT, June 2018). This represents 42% of the state’s population. The average service area population is 66,101. The sizes of the individual service areas are between 4,350 and 274,569 people. The Section 5310 Program through INDOT is designed to serve areas where accessible public transit for seniors and persons
